Why gratitude is important to me
I am a Toronto-based entrepreneur committed to creating enduring companies that have a deeply-rooted social and environmental purpose. Over the past 15 years, I have co-founded two successful social purpose businesses, Unwrapit and Grantbook. As of July 2025, I am also an advisor with MacKay CEO Forums.
Gratitude is the thread that connects my various interests, personal and professional. On a personal level, I see the expression of gratitude as essential to healthy relationships. I am trying to pass this belief along to my kids. For example, we have added "bouquet" to the family game of "rose & thorn". Our kids know that when they are sharing their rose and thorn for the day, they can also share their "bouquet", which of course is something they are grateful for. Professionally, gratitude is at the heart of why I created Unwrapit. And gratitude is what led me to exit my previous business to the employees through an Employee Ownership Trust. In short, gratitude is where it's at!

New wifi
Yeah - not just wifi, but new wifi. Yesterday we finally upgraded our wifi and it has made a huge difference. I thought the recent investment in a router that did double duty by also doing all of our backups would last much longer, I realized my definition of "recent" is 11 years (that's right a prime number !).
Today I’m grateful for:
great support from our internet provider
the simplicity in making the change-over without having to reset a whole bunch of passwords
Lyn will no longer have to reset the router 2-3 times per week
What are you grateful for today ?
